Affirm Multiplex

This is the latest and greatest wonder in the field of non-invasive skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, sagging, and aging skin! This exciting new laser technology combines two different wavelengths and fractional technology to help skin appear younger, smoother and tighter.

Similar to Fraxel (fractional resurfacing), the Affirm Multiplex stimulates new collagen production and helps smooth superficial lines and scars in the skin. A second simultaneous wavelength delivers heat directly to the deeper skin layers to produce instant contraction of the collagen and firmer, tighter skin with reduced sagging over time. The combined wavelengths and lower energy levels maximize effectiveness and translate into greatly reduced discomfort as compared with Fraxel treatments. Since the skin between the laser microspots remains intact, the healing process is much shorter compared with traditional skin resurfacing.

Unlike Fraxel, Affirm entails minimal to no downtime. Patients generally experience sunburn like redness, which can be easily covered with make-up. Affirm treatments also take less time than Fraxel, since no dyes are needed to mark the skin. It can be used on the face, neck, and sagging areas of the body including upper arms, knees, stomach and inner thighs. I recommend a series of 3-5 treatments, depending on need, for an impressive outcome. After the last treatment, new collagen will be produced for an additional 4-6 months as an added bonus. The outcome is firmer, tighter skin, reduced wrinkles and fine lines, filling and smoothing out of acne scars, reduced pore size and younger looking, revitalized skin. The treatment involves minimal discomfort, but we can prescribe a topical numbing cream as well.
